Wenceslaw Square is one of the places in Prague that every tourist guidebook presents as a must. It is also a place where history has been written. But is also a place where barkers, prostitutes, homeless people and pickpockets can be met every night.

The new mayor in the centre of Prague, Petr Hejma, believes it will change soon. 109 more police officers should be seen in 250 streets of the city centre soon. Also homeless people will be registered so that the city will be aware of their identity.

A new edict imposed a ban on erotic advertisement more than a year ago but there are no visible results. The mayor Petr Hejma thinks that the night atmosphere at Wenceslas Square will change with the reconstruction of the whole boulevard that might start within 4 years.
